"Partition is not empty"

Rinku Lalli's picture

Hello,

I am in the process of deleting partitions from the VAC that have been migrated to Centera.  I have managed to delete most partitions but any partitions that did not migrate successfully ie the partitions that had 2 or 3 savesets left will not delete from the VAC.  I have checked one or two discussions and there is talk about removing them from the PartitionEntry Table.  Can anyone advise on how to do this?  I have retrieved all of the savesets that didn't migrate to Cenetra and stored the DVS files in a separate folder.

Thanks

It will simply be right

It will simply be right clicking and delete. However not 100% sure there will not be some contraints that need to be played with.  You could also look to remove the savesets in question from the saveset table, again you will find some contraints so you will need help from someone who knows SQL.  Also before you do anything like this ensure you have a good backup.

If unsure or need further help for this I would consider logging a case with Symantec.

Thanks for this! I've got an

Thanks for this!

I've got an SQL script that removes archive reeference so can run this first on the savesets that didn't migrate as long as I get the TransactionID.  When you say right click and delete, do you mean on the Partition Entry Table?

Not on the whole table, just

Not on the whole table, just the relevant row for the partition that needs to be removed. (just want to make sure that is clear ;-)) So right click and return all rows to see the table entries.  Select the row for the parition that you wish to delete and delete it. 

The remaining entries should be those for the Centera.
